Camera

Abstract

A camera incorporating a capacitor for flashing a flash device is arranged to have the capacitor disposed within a hollow portion of a film take-up spool, to have a power source battery accommodating space provided in the vicinity of the spool, and to have a motor which serves at least as a film transporting drive source disposed in the vicinity of a film cartridge stowing chamber.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A camera incorporating therein a capacitor for flashing a flash device, comprising: a film take-up spool disposed on one side of an aperture and having a hollow portion within which said capacitor is disposed;   a stowing chamber for stowing a film cartridge, said chamber being disposed on another side of said aperture;   a grip part protrusively disposed at a position in front of said spool;   a battery accommodating space for accommodating a power source battery, said battery accommodating space being provided in the vicinity of said spool; and   a motor serving as a drive source at least for transporting a film, said motor being disposed in the vicinity of said chamber for stowing a film cartridge.   
     
     
       2. A camera according to claim 1, wherein said battery accommodating space is provided at a position in front of said spool. 
     
     
       3. A camera according to claim 1, wherein said battery accommodating space is provided at a position beneath said spool. 
     
     
       4. A camera according to claim 1, wherein said motor is disposed at a position in front of said stowing chamber and close to an aperture. 
     
     
       5. A camera according to claim 2, wherein said motor is disposed at a position in front of said stowing chamber and close to an aperture. 
     
     
       6. A camera according to claim 3, wherein said motor is disposed at a position in front of said stowing chamber and close to an aperture. 
     
     
       7. A camera according to claim 1, further comprising a circuit board electrically connected to said capacitor, said circuit board being disposed at a position crossing an axial direction of said spool. 
     
     
       8. A camera according to claim 7, further comprising a connection member for electrically connecting said circuit board to said battery. 
     
     
       9. A camera according to claim 1, further comprising first and second supporting members positioned above and beneath said spool in an axial direction thereof to rotatably support said spool, said first and second supporting members being arranged to also support said capacitor. 
     
     
       10. A camera incorporating therein a capacitor for flashing a flash device, comprising: a film take-up spool disposed on one side of an aperture;   a stowing chamber for stowing a film cartridge, said stowing chamber being disposed on another side of said aperture;   a grip part protrusively disposed at a position in front of said spool;   said capacitor disposed within a hollow portion of said spool;   a battery accommodating space for accommodating a power source battery, said battery accommodating space being provided within said grip part; and   a motor serving as a drive source at least for transporting a film, said motor being disposed in the vicinity of said stowing chamber.   
     
     
       11. A camera according to claim 10, wherein said battery accommodating space is provided at a position in front of said spool. 
     
     
       12. A camera according to claim 10, wherein said battery accommodating space is provided at a position beneath said spool. 
     
     
       13. A camera according to claim 10, wherein said motor is disposed at a position in front of said stowing chamber and close to an aperture. 
     
     
       14. A camera according to claim 10, further comprising a circuit board electrically connected to said capacitor, said circuit board being disposed at a position crossing an axial direction of said spool. 
     
     
       15. A camera according to claim 14, further comprising a connection member for electrically connecting said circuit board to said battery. 
     
     
       16. A camera according to claim 15, wherein said grip part is arranged to be attachable and detachable to and from the camera, and wherein said connection member has a part thereof secured to said grip part and is arranged to electrically connect said battery to said circuit board by coming into contact with another part when said grip is attached to the camera. 
     
     
       17. A camera according to claim 10, further comprising first and second supporting members positioned above and beneath said spool in an axial direction thereof to rotatably support said spool, said first and second supporting members being arranged to also support said capacitor.
